Some context in the era of Linked Data

Introduction Knowledge Graphs (KGs) are currently on the rise. In their latest Hype Cycle for Artificial Intelligence (2018), Gartner highlighted: “The rising role of content and context for delivering insights with AI technologies, as well as recent knowledge graph offerings for AI applications have pulled knowledge graphs to the surface.” We can roughly di […]

Knowledge graphs are essential for any information architecture built upon semantics and AI. The Linked Data Life Cycle provides guideline for data governance within the semantic web framework. The post Knowledge Graphs – Connecting the Dots in an Increasingly Complex World appeared first on Semantic Web Company.

With the UN predicting that more than 70 percent of the world’s population will live in urban areas by 2050, the development of sustainable smart cities is a rising need. Cities are now capable of collecting and analyzing enormous amounts of data to automate processes, improve service quality, and to make better decisions. This opens ... The post How Semanti […]

Drupal is one of the favourite enterprise content management systems. Especially government and non-governmental organizations embrace this open source platform to build advanced digital experiences. Over the last years, we have been developing several PoolParty semantic technology features and modules that integrate natively into Drupal. In this blog post, […]

In our recent endeavor to import in PoolParty the Google Product taxonomy in different languages, we encountered some challenges that needed to be addressed. The first challenge was that the Google Product taxonomy is in Excel (XLS) format, and for each language there is a separate file. The second challenge is on how to align ...

SEMANTiCS conference celebrated its 10th anniversary this September in Leipzig. And this year’s venue has been capable of opening a new age for the Semantic Web in Europe – a marketplace for the next generation of semantic technologies was born.

SEMANTiCS conference series will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year in September. SEMANTiCS (formerly known as I-Semantics) has had a long tradition in buidling bridges between practitioners and researchers in the areas of semantic web and linked data technologies. Therefore the SEMANTiCS consortium has developed new strucutures to further elaborate on this special character of this event series:

Each conference session will combine talks from industry and research – those two interest groups won’t be seperated from each other anymore

DBpedia community will be integrated deeply into SEMANTiCS conference: DBpedia has been the most successful activity in this area so far. A lot of industry-related projects has been built around this dataset. Therefore the 2nd meeting of the DBpedia association will be co-located with SEMANTiCS (taking place on September 3rd, also in Leipzig).

Transfer-oriented side events and a centrally located market place will offer great opportunities to discuss about state-of-the-art technologies in the areas of Semantic Web standards based software and products.

Leipziger Semantic Web Days 2011 take place today and tomorrow, and I like this year´s motto: “Linked Data for the Masses”. I think it´s time to dispel the myth that the “semantic web will never become reality”.

Thousands of people including myself have been working on the development of the semantic web in recent years, and just to give a short example of applications and companies which use this mature technology stack in 2011 for various purposes I have prepared a keynote talk I will give tomorrow in Leipzig:

Another way how to make the power of linked data comprehensible to newcomers are short screencasts, take a look at the latest video of the PoolParty team about semantic search:
